Hide Window Title.

Question

Hi all,
Can we hide the Window title bar of a form? I am using Forms 6i.
Thanks & Regards,
Manu.

Answer 1

Hey you guys! It IS possible. All the forms I work on do that.
Manu, why do you give credit to the ones who tell you something cannot be done? :_|
-> i want to hide the forms window's( Only 1 window in the form) title bar.
-> I want to hide the blue colored ( default windows theme) in which the minimize, maximize and close buttons resides.
You have options, which I pointed out above. Since you are asking about Forms 6i, I'll address those.
You always have the title bar of the Forms_MDI_Window. That contains the standard Windows icon on the left end, and the standard symbol/icons for Minimize, Maximize(or Restore), and Exit on the left.
When you start your form, you will also have the standard Forms menu bar, (Action Edit Query...Window Help).
And a third menu bar, the Window0: On the left, the standard Windows icon, then the Window0 title, and on the right, the standard icons for Minimize, Maximize and Exit.
To get rid of that third Window0 title bar, in your Pre-Form trigger (or a standard PLL procedure ), do this:
<font color=blue>  Set_Window_Property('WINDOW0',Window_State,Maximize);</font><br>
That is what ALL of our forms here do.
And to prevent the user from re-displaying that Window0 title bar, create a When-Window-Resized trigger like I posted above.
We also set the Window0 properties, Close Allowed, Move Allowed, Resize Allowed, and Minimize Allowed to No. Only Maximize Allowed is set to Yes (so the above Set_window_property above can work).
But you can also manage the Window0 Y position. Set it to -20, and the title bar slides up and out of sight. We don't use this option, though, since resizing the MDI window leaves the width and height fixed. Maximizing Window0 is much easier.
